UK, Ireland / Getting married to a Polish Citizen in the UK [371]

Hello there...

I'm a south african national currently on a visit visa in the Uk. I've come to visit my girlfriend after our last meeting in South Africa 8 months ago. We now plan in getting married and to live here in london. She has Uk residency, is it possible for me to get a visa in order for me to work and live here without needing to go back in my country and applying for a visa. Could anyone please kindly advise me as i cannot find proper information , maybe i'm not checking in the appropriate web sites.

I'd really appreciate all replies.
